Wow mate a really nice looking rig perhaps Belly can give you some load help with the new rifle as he has had great success with the caliber.
cheers mate

keep us posted i would interested in seeing the load data as you develop and some photo's.

Les

The new bead blasted Stolle looks good mate, stock is very unique.. Cant wait to see how it shoots.

PS-Dave's work bench is much tidier than yours!!

Cheers Jason

haha Belly.. wouldn't know I got fur kids haha

haha Jason I just cleaned my bench up..knew I should of got a.pic of it to show ya haha

Yeah Les  I been picking Bellys brain over the last 6 months and it's been a great help..
once Fire Forming is done I will be into it big time
will post up pics of progress

just finished neck turning and case prep 200x cases

what barrel are you running in it Stuart ?  twist / length / neck ?

I am also in the process of building a BRX  on a BAT model B .

Cheers Ken.

Hi kenny you mate are a breath of fresh air one match then off with a BAT and a screamer caliber selection if you need anything else to help you get going give me a call
cheers and good shooting Les

Hey Ken
yeah im using a Krieger HV 30inch barrel in a 1:7.5 twist as i will be running 105gr hybrids and maybe try 115gr at a later date  
i'm using a 270 neck and will be turning brass to a loaded round of 267 with .003 neck tension
i am starting with 110 free bore and will see where bullets end up on the shoulder/neck junction and if i need to take more out i will get it adjusted  
will be using 2208 and CCI 450 primers

cant wait to start shooting it

Im sure that rifle will be a Laser Stuart  &  wearing a Kreiger it has to shoot ... will be interested to see how well it does with the 115's .  hopefully it will still go light gun with that 30'' tube.

Yeah Les iv got the bug again & its an expensive one to get ...

The BAT i picked up off used guns & has a 24'' Maddco  1:8 twist   272 neck  but the stock wasnt suited for fly so Reedy is chopping me one out of my last stringy bark blank.

Hi kenny i sent you an email if you want your cases match prepped as i know you are just starting back bring them to Mudgee and i will do them and post em back
cheers Les

ps tim and les

all going to plan see you sunday

yeah Ken, Jason runs the same set as me but in 6BR with 30 inch barrel and his is still under the 17lb limit

it's alive and showing great potential
 




fire forming at.100m. shot top hole as a sighter then next 4 touching  then I dropped the bottom one.
can't wait to start load testing

finally got around to doing some load testing the other week and looks like i have 2 nodes all tested at 300m 2208 and 105gr hybrids at .008 jump, i did have a little bit of barrel mirage that i had to wait fo it to clear at times as there was next to no wind early that morning



32.3gr to 32.5gr , these where 0.4 inch high and 0.6 inch high
and 33.5gr and 33.7gr (i did drop the last one as i just shot it quckly as i had to go)
i dont have speeds for these yet but i have loaded up a heap at 32.4gr and am waiting for time/weather to be right so i can test seating depth, i hate summer for wind and mirage haha

the 33gr group down at bottom righ i dropped some rounds on bench and they got mixed up when i was reloading so i just shot them as sighters

My whidden hydro forming die turned up so I thought I would try it on 100 cases , as I have only been using the 100 I fire formed  since getting gun and I need more.
Hydro forming was easy to do the cases came out great



I used my 32.4gr from my load testing and shot them at fly today to finish off the shouders and they did great
Best group was a1.8inch but I aso had another 2 rounds where 4 rounds where and 1.5 inches but as normal the 5th was out





Saved myself 100 made up rounds and 100 rounds down my barrel . So I'm happy

and then this happens at 200m while testing seating depth



then i checked speeds with magneto speed



bring on next fly shoot and see how it goes

Mate..Looks like every things falling into place…well done!
Belly

thanks Belly, yeah its getting there for sure, couldn't of done it without your help along the way answering my question
just need some good weather atm to see what it can really do .. getting over windy and hot miragie conditions haha but that's WA in the summer

Another near miss. 4th shoot went low but it was in 30km/h winds so happy as
Finished day with 250.2
